Liberty Road (the road to Kharkiv)
ScOmBer
Was mucking around on a cool Toy Piano plugin and found I was singing the melody to Loveshadows 2011 song “Liberty Road” when I played it.
So I just went for it, plugged the mic in, changed a few words (sorry Jeff) and cut the vocal while playing the piano.
Lots of Ukraine in this song, the hurt, the struggle, the hope.
Here’s the words and the pella is here. Piano track is also uploaded against this remix
“Liberty Road”
I remember all those years ago
The sun would rise
that’s all I needed to know
Yesterdays clothes and I was good to go
My wooden sword against the world
And every day was like a holiday
The dusty gulley where we used to play
Taking apples from the branch along the way
Heading down to Kharkiv City.
Now every day I wonder will the sun rise
Will it ripen all we’ve sown?
Trying to see the world again through childs eyes
Down on Liberty Road
And every day I wonder where we’re headed
And every day another load
Another junction in the wrong direction
Down on Liberty Road
Now I just try to make a fist of it
Round off the edge
to make the pieces fit
There’s a picture in our minds
that we all miss
We should never let it fade
Try to find comfort in the beds we’ve made
The night is long but there’s another day
It’s not as if the world was waiting anyway
For us to help her turn
Now every day I wonder will the sun rise
Will it ripen all we’ve sown?
Trying to see the world again through childs eyes
Down on Liberty Road
And every day I wonder where we’re headed
And every day another load
Another junction in the wrong direction
Down on Liberty Road
They’re taking, we’re giving
Surviving, not living
They’re stealing, we’re needing
Does nothing ever change?
And every day I wonder will the sun rise
Will it ripen all we’ve sown?
Try to see the world again through childs eyes
Down on Liberty Road
And every day I wonder where we’re headed
And every day another load
Another junction in the wrong direction
Down on Liberty Road
Another junction in the wrong direction
